I was wondering what more I could do to my website to attract people to JOIN the Community?
Any ideas appreciated.

You could try customising your site by creating a theme or finding one in the theme category.
I also think you’d benefit from using tags for example in your metal detector category. This is because a lot of categories can seem intimidating to new users.

That’s not a platform problem, it’s a community positioning problem
I would start with a few questions
- Which problem are you solving with your community?
- Do some people feel this problem?
- Where are these people?
- Why do you think that they need a community?
